DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS.

For the first time in twenty years the
people of the United States are treated to
the novel sight of the democrats and re-
publicans of Texas marching together
under the same banner of freedom against
a common foe. The men who in former
years-in the days of Davis, Hamilton,
Tracy and other leaders of the reconstruc-
ton era-opposed each other bitterly,
persisteDtly, are now aligned side by side,
shoulder to shoulder, in the same process
sion. True, they do not appear on this
occasion, really one of the most impor-
tant in the history of the state,
as democratic or republican
bodies or organizations. They take part
as individual democrats, individual repub-
licans, but they are democrats and re-
publicans all the same.
Heretofore, these men have been divided
on such issues as the tariff and other great
questions of public policy, not upon any
question involving the personal rights
and liberties of the people. When these
rights, won by our forefathers of the
Revolution of 1776, who waded through
eight long years of blood, suffering and
privation to attain them, are assailed and
threatened in Texas by coming despot-
ism-whose horrible features are con-
cealed under delusive sophistry-the
democrats and republicans hurry to the
defense of principles dear to both.
They fully perceive the danger. If
prohibition carries they see in the very
near future a party, which, once in pos
session of power in this state, must be-
come a relentless, calling tyranny that
will spit upon the democratic and
republican parties of Texas, and grind
both to fine powder under its iron heel.

THE WORLDS BALLOON.

The aeronauts who assembled from st.
Louis, Friday evening, expected to land
in New England, yesterday evening. In
stead of that the balloon was said
to have been seen p assig
over Detroit early yesterday morning
going west northwest Their theory of
the heights and directions of certain cur
rants in the atmosphere, seems to have
failed them, or, if correct, they could not
take practical advantage of these cur
rents. A later dispatch last evening rep
resented the Worlds correspondent, who
assembled in the balloon, as saying that they
had been forced to make landing near
Centralia, ILL.,, on account of the failure of
the gas. The point of the landing, there
fore, was not over 100 miles due east of st.
Louis. The Detroit dispatch must have
been founded on error. If the balloonists
landed at o'clock Friday evening, in the
locality indicated, they could not have
passed over Detroit four hours after
wards, as stated in the Detroit dispatch.
The Detroit observer must have had big
Imagination, or an elastic conscience like
unto MUTATIONS.
The account given in the dispatches of
the incidents of the ascent will be found
highly interesting reading. 1t seems the
aeronauts assembled to an altitude of
$4,000 feet. Evidently the accidental
opening of the arrangement for letting
off the gas caused the rapid descent,
which so astonished the occupants of the
car, and which came so near making
them the victims of a terrible tragedy.

SOUR MILK.

One of the editors of the Austin Pro-
hibitionist, who kindly did take notes of
Mr.. Moore's speech for the local editor of
The STATESMAN, otherwise engaged that
night, and who wrote an exceedingly fiat
tering notice of said speech, to which no
objection was raised, writes the following
for this weeks Prohibitionist:
Some people should clean out their ears.
Mr.. Moore did not say that "all the vir-
tue" etc, of Texas is on our side in this
mpaign-Prof. Bickler, whose school is
no longer attended by Mr.. Moore's boys
the milk in the coeOanut), to the contrary
notwithstanding. This writer took notes
of Mr.. Moores speech for The STATES
MAN, and knows whereof he speaks.
Notes were also taken by other gentle
men than the author of the above para
graph, and the issue is between them. But
this fling at Prof. Bickler (the milk in the
cocoanuD is thoroughly out of place.
And, without consultation with Prof.
Bickler, but upon our own knowledge of
the facts, we state that there is some milk
in this oocoanut that would not have been
split had not this insinuation against
Prof. Bickler been made.
True, Prof. Bickler's school is no
longer attended by Mr.. Moore's boys"
but it is also true, that Mr.. Moore did not
withdraw them from this school until
after Prof. Bickler published his card,
correcting Mr.. Moores denial of having
used certain words in his Opera house
speech.
The prohibitionist can make the most
of the milk. This fact was known to us
some time since; we thought 1t personal
and not to be brought into the contro-
versy. The prohibitionist is responsible
for this article, that would never have
appeared but in rebuke of the unmerited
and mean attack upon Prof. Bickler, who,
at the expense and in danger of selfin-
terest, dared say like man what he
knew.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-06-23
NOW AND THEN.

Col. Herndon said the saloon business
the whisky traffic, is growing rapidly
Now already in Texas the saloons, though
comparatively in their infancy, defy the
laws, and not half of them pay license,
What can be expected when they grow
stronger; will any of them pay licenses,
and won't they violate all laws? Look
where this reasoning leads you in discuss
ing prohibition. Already on the statute
books are found strict laws, but the state
does not or cannot enforce them. Now
the prohibitiopist5 want still stricter laws.
Query: If the state has not the power
or inclination to enforce present laws
against this whisky traffic, will it be able
or willing to enforce stricter laws against
this traffic? Again, what have the prohi-
bitionists done to help enforce present
saloon laws? They talk of all these
violations of the law; have they taken
any steps to stop them? Have they
informed on and prosecuted these wrong
doors? If they have not done this under
the present law, will they do it if prohi-
bition goes into effect? Or have they all
these years been working on Col. Hern-
don's logic, and encouraging the saloon
men to disregard law, that thus they
might get handle for this prohibition
boom of theirs? This can hardly be
credited. But the case rather stands
thus: All such present and future laws
must, in the necessity of things, be but
imperfectly carried out. All repression
is up hill work. The simpler you make
your laws, the more nearly they conform
10 what is equitable, and in accord with
what men regard as the least invasion of
their personal rights, and the easier you
make their enforcement, the sooner will
you create respect for law, for the sooner
will laws be such in name and effect.
Prohibition is an innovation. 1t is some
thing that has been tried in other states,
tits true, but with very poor results. The
laws we have now on our statute books
have been proved They are good, and
when enforced correct nearly all the evils
the most enthusiastic prohibitionist be-
labors. If the prohibitionists would turn
with as much zeal upon the authorities
who fail to see that our present laws are
carried out, and then place high license
all over the state, they would accomplish
more in one year than than they will in
ten of prohibition outcry.

GOOD LEGISLATORS NEEDED.

The communication on Progressive
Craftsmanship is right to the point.
Texas, surely, if any state in the union, is
able to pay its legislators a handsome
salary, say $1,000 or $500 each session.
Cut down the number of legislators to
the constitutional limit and then make
these men the ablest possible, by making
1t an inducement for good men to consent
to hold these positions. The novel
method proposed by "a. B. c." for his
constituents to pay the legislator upon
his return home at the close of the session,
and then in proportion to the work he
has done, certainly would be a strong in
centive to good honest labor. But I'll. "a
system that will hardly be adopted. The
two courses open to Texas, if she would
have good lawmakers and sound laws,
are first to pay handsome salary
or second to make these positions
solely honorable, and with no salary at
tached. Parliament is conducted on this
principle, and the ablest men in England
can be found on its benches. This is of
piece with the conduct of churches
lodges and other associations" as pointed
out in the communication; in these .he
plan works perfectly why not in the state?
